Just wondering how many actually subtract the .7492???
To get a good estimate I would imagine everyone especially if you have a calculator/smart phone. Some day I hope to use the tape I bought for my buddies and myself from the Dollar General store. BANG BANG!!
Nobody does, not in the field. We just do the number of inch times 10 and minus 200. That will get you to within a couple of pound of the long version estimate with all the decimal numbers.
Everyone does it. BANG BANG!!
jlmdlm, it is important that you get the tap vertically straight and directly behind the front legs, there at the arm pit, and pulled snugly, not super tight like cinching up the belt on your pants, but the hair should be compressed. It is sometimes necessary to try to do it multiple times to find the smallest circumference. That should give you the most accurate estimate of weight using the tape method.
